For Nora Grey, romance was not
part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at
her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at
her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying
encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere
she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't
decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when
she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is
way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle
of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen -
and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her
life.

MY REVIEW:

I'd heard a
lot of hype about this book, so I listened to it on my IPod. Truthfully,
it started off a little slow for me. Seemed like a generic paranormal
romance - good girl falls for bad boy who happens to be a vampire or
werewolf or, in this case, a fallen angel. The heroine, Nora, is a great
character, but her sidekick, Vee, is a cliche materialistic slut.
However, for the sake of all the rave reviews the book got, I decided to
press on. And I'm glad I did.

By about half way in, I
was hooked. It still felt like so many other books in the genre, but the
pace was steady and the mystery intriguing. I had it figured out about
three quarters of the way in, but then there was this cool twist at the
end that threw me for a minute. I ended up being right, but loved that
feeling of "Good grief! I did not see that coming!"

The
climax was pretty intense and thoroughly enjoyable. I liked how it
ended and would definitely read the second book in the series. What I
liked best was that there were no bad words or sex. Thank you Becca
Fitzpatrick!!!

Hush, Hush was a ride worth taking. I
feel good recommending this book. If you liked Twilight (Stephanie Meyer) and Shiver (Maggie Stiefvater),
you'd love this book. I give Hush, Hush:
